What is EFA means?
What does EFA mean? I belive EFA stands for essential fatty acids. Which are Omega 3 and Omega 6. You can find such things in fish or through tablets i.e Cod liver oil tablets
What are the two parts of a fatty acid?
If you mean triglycerides which is the fat most people talk about then its glycerol and fatty acids.
Does the greater number of saturated fatty acids a membrane contains the more fluid it is?
Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds and therefore no 'kinks' in their structures. These would mean that these fatty acids can pack more closely than unsaturated fatty acids and cause the membrane to be LESS fluid.
What is phosphoglycerides?
if you mean the structure, then its two fatty acids, glycerol , and phosphorylated alcohol.
How are hydrocarbon fatty acids classified depending upon their nature?
Fatty acids are NOT hydrocarbons. Fatty acids are carboxylic acids containing the functional group -COOH. Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen. It is absolutely crucial in all branches of chemistry to know exactly what the words mean and to use them precisely. Carboxylic acids have the general formula RCOOH, where the R is nearly always made of carbon and hydrogen. There are several ways to classify them, but the one met most frequently looks at the saturation of the R- group. If there are no double bonds it is saturated, one double bond makes it mono-unsaturated, and many double bonds make it polyunsaturated.
What does fat mean on a food label?
Total amount of triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides, and free fatty acids in the product.
What are two parts of a fat molecule?
If you mean triglycerides which is the fat most people talk about then its glycerol and fatty acids.
Effect of double bond in fatty acids to its melting point?
double bonds mean the fatty acid is unsaturated and kinky which makes its packing difficult in the phospholipid bilayer and hence this drop the melting point
What is 30.92 k and omega to and omega mean?
30920 Omega
What is the definition of fat?

Compounds commonly know as fats and oils?
Fats and oils are categorized under the title "Omega", followed by varying numbers (Omega 3, Omega 6,) some are very benifitial to the cognitive areas of the brain, aiding in memory retention, and strengthening the immune system. Some types of fat are actually harmful to the human brain and body functions when ingested in large amounts, such as corn oil. Helpful forms of Omega can be found in fish like salmon, nuts, and coconut oil.
Is it possible to overdose on omega 3?
We all know that omega 3 fatty acids are crucial for good health, but can we suffer from an omega-3 overdose? Unfortunately, the answer will depend. For omega-3 sources that you get from plants and nuts, such as flaxseed, and walnuts, it's very hard to overdose. However, these are not the best sources for omega 3 fatty acids as there are three types of omega 3 fats: ALA, DHA and EPA. The ALA form is what you find in plant forms like flaxseed. ALA needs to be converted by the body into DHA and EPA before use. This conversion may not happen efficiently for a variety of possible reasons. Fish oils are the best source of DHA and EPA omega 3 fatty acids. This is where the answer to Omega-3 Overdose will vary. It will depend on the fish source being used (in supplements) or consumed. If you are taking cod liver oil, for example, which has a very high Vitamin A content, you can overdose....because Vitamin A is toxic is large amounts. Keep in mind it's the Vitamin A that is toxic here, not the omega-3 fats. However, there are species of fish that are very high in beneficial DHA and EPA with extremely low Vitamin A content, which makes overdosing practicually nil because they are not produced from the liver. Now this doesn't mean you want to overdo it by taking as much omega-3 fatty acids as you can. If you are an adult in good health, you can probably take 1 to 2 grams a day to maintain good health. This is just a general rule of thumb. If you have a specific health condition, the amount you take will vary. However, most people, being deficient in omega 3 fatty acids, should consider taking the aforementioned 1 to 2 grams of omega 3 fatty acids per day. One omega-3 warning to keep in mind is that omega 3 oils act as blood thinners. This can be beneficial for people who have clumpy, "sticky" blood. Blood thinners may help the blood flow more easily through arteries, benefiting the functioning of the heart. But too many blood thinners can post certain risks as well. It's not that omega-3's are dangerous in this regard. It's just that if you are already taken blood thinners (whether over-the-counter or prescription) you should talk to your doctor before adding omega-3 supplements to your daily health regimen to make sure you aren't thinning your blood too much. Overall for most people in the Western world, the problem isn't one of an omega-3 overdose, but not getting enough of these vital fats, which help improve brain and heart health, and do so much more. 1 to 2 grams a day of a purified, high quality, omega 3 rich fish oil supplement with low Vitamin A content is one of the best things the vast majority of Westerners can do to improve their health.
